	mtbdeano says: Wow, this is getting spooky ... I am literally wrestling with the specialist or generalist career path. Right now I am the consulting generalist: tech, creative, PM, GM, client executive, blah, blah ... and lamenting some deep background in a particular subject matter area (I have working in TV, movies, healthcare, telecom, government, ...). This image summed up my career challenge in a nice simple way. Maybe the next step in my career should be XPLANE! Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )
	dgray_xplane says: mtbdeano -- could be! We like people with multidisciplinary backgrounds. You can check out current job openings here. Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

	raphav says: Great insight, Dave. I've been trying to tell this for people in years. Your pict helps a lot! "Wisdom of Crowds", a book by James Surowiecki, goes deeper in this discussion about the two roles. Can you send me a higher size of your picture. I want to show my interactive team all about it! Thanks, and congratulations again. Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )

	woochiwoochiwa says: David - can you add me as contact? I would like to share a hi-res version with my team, cheers! Zubin. Posted 6 weeks ago. ( permalink )
